  1. Do you wear rings?

    HM-8404 replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in General Students

    I suggest leaving at home. Not only can bacteria get in and around stones, if you are in an OR setting you must remove rings, watch, and bracelet when you scrub. The more you take something off the...

  2. Acceptance into Bevill State nursing Fall 2012

    HM-8404 replied to sgoree85's topic in Alabama Nursing

    From what I was told by a couple of their nursing graduates you better get used to it. I was told if a problem arises it is left up to the students to deal with. I will give you a word of warning...

  3. I had a terrible day at school today... Accused and feel awful.

    HM-8404 replied to jval's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    HM-8404 replied to jval's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Your teacher is nuts. You are only a student. It is not your job or responsibility to ensure your classmates are doing what they are supposed to do in a clinical

  10. No need to be upset at the truth! Change careers

    HM-8404 replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Something I have noticed with many new nurses and nursing students is they don't have a realistic idea of what the job is like. Many fail to realize it is a JOB. Often they grew up seeing nurses as...

    HM-8404 replied to jonathanrisko's topic in Alabama Nursing

    The best advice I could offer is don't get your heart set on nursing school at Jeff State. What I mean is don't put all your eggs in one basket. When the time comes apply to several nursing programs...

    HM-8404 replied to SweetPEI's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am not sure how long you have been a nurse but you must remember health care workers are just people. Some people smoke, drink excessively, have unsafe sex, use drugs, etc. Too often people assume...

    HM-8404 replied to mmills63's topic in Government, Military

    Gonavy is mistaken.... They all require a BSN now. The only exception is the Guard will take an ADN after they are admitted into a BSN program. I am not sure about activation status. I agree it would...

  18. Is nursing still a good career choice?

    HM-8404 replied to manskette's topic in General Students

    My advice is don't put too much stock in what the school tells you. Remember they are trying to recruit you to come spend your money at their school. I would bet they are still saying computer...
